as said on q-rank, rock struggles to pass the two minute test - after looking at it for two minutes, all the interest in gone. too few articles, always about routes that are so hard the don't relate to me (eg the article on stapylton, there are some great easy routs, 10-16, no mention at all. If your going to review an area, think about what climbers may want from it, how about a box with a quick run down of the best routes, covering a range of grades - a story on sventh pillar - there are some great trip reports around on chockstone - something like that would be interetsing..

heaps of glossy pics, very little reading content..

An e-zine would be great ....

remember the bike magazine "free wheel?". paid for by adds, free for readers, so the distribution is high, making it even more appealing for advertisers..

prehaps something like that could work..
